Calvin Harris and friends debut at Number 1 with Under Control, knocking Lily Allen’s Somewhere Only We Know off the top spot.

Calvin Harris, Alesso and Hurts frontman Theo Hutchcraft will no doubt be celebrating this evening after debuting at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart.

The trio’s new collaboration, Under Control, has knocked Lily Allen’s cover of Keane’s Somewhere Only We Know off the top spot. While Calvin is no stranger to chart-topping singles in the UK, Under Control is the first time both Alesso and Theo have graced the chart summit on these shores.

Gary Barlow’s Let Me Go is up one place to Number 2, while One Direction climb seven to Number 3 with Story Of My Life. Lily Allen’s Somewhere Only We Know (4) and Bastille’s Of The Night complete this week’s Top 5.
